Huntington Beach Waves roll along

The South Huntington Beach Waves ran their record to 14-2 last weekend by defeating West Garden Grove No Mercy twice in a doubleheader, 5-4 and

15-2, in girls’ Under-10 Division play.

Knotted at 4 through two innings of play in the first game, Hilary

Pool’s run batted in single in the third inning provided the Waves with

their margin of victory.

There was no close call for the Waves in game No. 2, however, as

Danielle Delany belted a three-run home run in the first inning to

highlight a big offensive display by South Huntington Beach. Delany went

on to add a double, single and an RBI to her totals.

In the two games, the Waves had 24 hits. Sara Taylor had two singles

and three RBIs, Stephanie Mello and Katrice Shaner each had two singles

and three RBIs, Monica Bledsoe doubled and singled with one RBI, Kim

Gonzalez and Lorny Freeland each had three singles and one RBI, and Erica

Svoboda and Ashlee Huston each chipped in a single.

Pool and Freeland also turned in strong pitching performances as the

duo combined for 20 strikeouts.
